Vater & Sohn

Vater & Sohn is the joint project between Michael Voelker of 2Naturkinder and his father. This is where Michael’s natural wine philosophy meets his father’s traditional approach. The wines are equally natural as those of 2Naturkinder except for a rough filtering and small addition of sulfur before bottling.

Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The skins remain in contact with the juice overnight and then the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in the tank without racking for about 6 months. The wine is bottled with a rough filtering and small addition of sulfur.

Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested ferment in fiberglass tanks as whole bunches. The wine remains in the tank without racking for about 6 months on the full lees. The wine is bottled with a rough filtering and small addition of sulfur.

Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The juice ferments in 600 liter 60 year old barrels. The wine remains in contact with the skins for about 3 days. The wine remains in the barrel without racking for about 10 months. Battonage was performed about 10 times during the winter. The wine is bottled with a rough filtering and small addition of sulfur.
